It is anti-inflammatory and a pain relief and instead of taking it
internally it is rubbed on - if I know I'm going to strain my feet
unreasonably, I'll put it on before the event - it means no pain during or
after (I have had arthritis in my big toe joint and bunions since I was 20).

In case of strains etc, where not feeling the pain can cause a worsening of
the damage, I put it on at night, where the anti-inflammatories will work,
but where I'm not putting a strain on the injury by moving too much.

Of course you have to read the instructions so as not to take it if you have
an underlying health condition.

For some mysterious reason, ibuprofen gel is not sold in the US.  I did an
internet order for a couple tubes from a pharmacy in Thunder Bay, ON,
though, and I agree with Pia that's it's a wonder-drug (I was going to say
panacea, but it's useless for myopia).
